Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin Podcast, you nerds, you know what time it is!

Marcus was entrenched in the LA arts scene for a couple of hours, and it was fun.

Sefa had blood drawn, and an old urban legend from his past almost prevented him from partaking.

Also, who do you think you'd win against in Power Slap?

Enjoy the show!

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK

Daaanjah! Welcome back to the pod! We are Samoans talking sports, and this week we have a special guest to break down American Samoa's Super Bowl, the Flag Day Fautasi races. Cousin Mathew Lagafuaina joins us to explain how he first joined the Nu'uuli auva'a (before it was "Manulele Tausala"), what the training sessions were like (two-a-days!) and the experience of your village and families sending you off into battle the morning of the race. Both hilarious and insightful, this convo is one you definitely don't want to miss. We'll also talk about betting on the Raiders to win the Super Bowl, and what to say on your downswing in golf ("Down"). We'll then discuss why it's important for us as Pacific Islanders to speak up and ask our names to be pronounced correctly, instead of just rolling along when someone butchers it. It's actually a big deal, and we should treat it as such, instead of hoping not to rock the boat.

Love and Light! Enjoy the show and shoot us a message is you like what you hear, if you have a community event you'd like us to broadcast, or if you have a birthday shout out you want on the next episode. Email us at [email protected] or DM at @ballinesian on Instagram and TikTok.

Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin Podcast, you nerds! You know what time it is.The boys have something a little different today.

They wanted to explore the YouTube classics that shaped an entire generation in the Pacific Islander community.

Also, the boys get a bit somber after sending some love to family.Enjoy the show!Sefa M: https://www.instagram.com/sefamMarcus: https://www.instagram.com/ohhellomarcusLance: https://www.instagram.com/ballinesianCheck out our Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/c/thepolytickinpodcast

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK

Welcome back to Samoans talking sports. We're getting hyped about NASA's latest lunar flyby while also discussing the NBA's trips to Memphis, TN, our "holy grail" cards/comic/activities/shoes, why it's important to pronounce Samoan names properly, and also how our show and discussions are more PTI than Stephen A Smith's First Take. Not a lot of orchestrated confrontation and yelling, instead you can expect thought-out topics, relevant stats and info, along with our very apparent sports-fandom biases lol. Thanks for your time and support! Stay tuned to the end for a future guest tease. Email us at [email protected] or DM us on Instagram or TikTok at Ballinesian.

Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin Podcast, you nerds! You know what time it is.

Marcus got his first taste of the subtle shade towards his content, and his reaction wasn't ideal.

Sefa went to the dentist on a whim, and now he's got top-shelf teeth.

Shout out to Canada's healthcare system.

Enjoy the show!

Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin Podcast! The Network Boys are in the building.Marcus has his first completed set of Daniel Warren Johnson variant covers, and y'all can't tell him nothing.

Sefa had Spring Break Camp all week at his job, and he partook in the skinning of a sacred deer. Kind of.

The boys then talk about Steven Setu and his latest social media series that exposes influencers who are doing small vendors dirty.

The boys are conflicted.

Then we will break down what a Ballinesian is and who our (and our followers') Top Pacific Islander athletes are. Thanks for your support through our first 200 episodes! Love and Light!

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK

Welcome to the Ballinesian Podcast! We are Samoans talking about Sports. Today we're speaking with Coach Forest on how coaching works at different levels, what it was like coaching in American Samoa and winning high school championships, and the historic coaches that stand out when thinking about March Madness and the NCAA Basketball Tournament (John Wooden, Coach K, Roy Williams, etc.). Single-elimination tournaments always make for wildly entertaining matchups and finishes and the NCAA Tournament is cemented as one of the biggest and most memorable stages in all of sports.

We'll also discuss Pitt F Roman Siulepa's move from Australia national team and NBL to pursuing an NIL contract in US College Basketball, and how that might open the door to other international athlete's joining US collegiate sports because of the money they could be paid.

Thanks for tapping in, and make sure to leave a comment for your hot takes, questions or any shout outs you want to make on the show. Or message Ballinesian on IG or TikTok, or email at [email protected]. Stay hydrated, stay blessed, stay Ballinnnnn.
